"Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour"
Volume 79 * Number 5
Outside
the
Bubble

World
U.S. forces have sealed
off Saddam Hussein's
birthplace, the northern
Iraqi city of Tikrit, also the
hometown of many ex-
members of his now
banned political party. U.S.
officials believe there are
ties ^between Hussein,
Tikrit and attacks on U.S.
troops.

A week of fires in Southern
California, possibly the
worst and costliest disaster
the state has faced, has
burned 750.000 acres of
land, burned 2,800 homes,
and left 20 dead. Although
only one --large' community
remains threatened,
increased heat and winds
this week leave firefighters
uncertain that they can contain the fires.

A nine-month-old boy
died Wednesday in Blaine
after a television set fell
on his head. A day-care
worker in Blaine was
moving the television set
when it fell off the stand
and landed on the baby's
head in what is being
called a "freak accident."
Progression towards university status underway
"Bethel University" may be official by July

In July of 2004, students,
faculty and staff can expect
immediate major changes with
an impact that will affect campus life for years to come when
Bethel College officially
becomes Bethel University. The
implementation is in the middle
of an 18-month _________
process that should
be completed by
June 28, 2004.
For all practical
purposes, the next
academic year will something that's hap-
carry on much the pening along the
bookstore, but other than these
cosmetic changes, most of the
ramifications of Bethel's new
name will have primarily long-
term impacts and very few
immediate effects.
A communique from
President Brushaber's office
that was issued on Oct. 24 lays
out the gradual changes that
need to be made during the
implemen-
"What we 're doing
is not about a name
change, that's just
same as this one.
There will most
likely be a new sign
at the entrance to the campus,
and new merchandise in the
tation: They
include
bylaw
changes for
the Bethel
Corporation
and the
Baptist
General
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Conference,
academic policy and governance for CGCS, a naming and
identity program, and a new
way.
"School of Leadership."
The School of Leadership
is a new initiative that the
President hopes to; undertake
once the new graduate program
becomes more developed.
The President's communique
also identified that "the process
of developing a new identity
program that reflects the name
changes for constituent schools
is underway... beginning in
November, meetings are scheduled with the various groups of
individuals who represent a
wide variety of academic and
administrative areas (i.e. athletics, college admissions, seminary admissions, CGCS
etc.)...The goal is to have this
task completed by January 31,
2004."
While Bethel is undergoing
more than just a name change,
the shift is in governance struc
ture, and the Administration has
said that it will not have much
effect on current undergraduate
and seminary students. One of
the objectives is to replace the
Center for Graduate and
Continuing Studies (CGCS)
with a graduate school that will
be more autonomous from the
residential college.
"I think it's fairly safe to
say that you won't see a change.
It will more change Bethel for
the future. This is setting up a
structure that will lead us into
the future, and will allow us to
develop new kinds of programs
that are reflective of a university," said Sherie Lindvall, vice
president of communications
and marketing.

Minnesota's First Lady, Bethel alum, speaks in chapel
The First Lady, of Minnesota and
Bethel alumna Mary Pawlenty
Sarah Nichols
StaffWriter
"Minnesota First Lady
Mar) Pawlenty was the most
engaging speaker we've had
all year," said freshman Lisa
Reiter.
A 1983 Bethel alumna,
Pawlenty addressed the issues
of vocation and calling in
chapel on Oct. 24. Pawlenty's
casual dress matched her conversational tone as she spoke
to students and faculty,
encouraging them to give their
problems to God, and to trust
that He will take care of them.
"You cannot control or
predict your life, so you need
to just relax," said Pawlenty.
"I want Him to lay before me
the next thing. Not my whole
life, just the next thing."
Pawlenty let her sense of
humor shine through examples from her own life, such as
a story about her time as a
lawyer in Texas, which she
described as "just a little like
being in the foreign service."
Pawlenty shared about
the confusion and stress she
experienced in and after college, and gave two ways to
deal with these problems.
Either we can agonize, be anxious and stress out all by ourselves, or we can "trust that
God in is charge, and trust that
God will direct us."
Pawlenty also promised
that "God will throw you
curve balls," but noted that
even then He is always in control. "He will make your path
straight—to North Dakota or
whatever," she said lightheart-
edly. She said that while
someone may be planning on
becoming a successful doctor
in the big city, "God is thinking Bismarck."
In closing, Pawlenty challenged students with two
questions: "Do you know your
spiritual gifts? Do you know
how you are wired?" and
encouraged students to discover what their talents may
be and to listen for God's
instruction as to how to best
use them. She ended with a
discover)' she has made in her
own life, that "His plan might
be as
